*Philippe nodded. He had a son. It was so strange, there had been a part of him walking this earth and he had not know. But know he did he could not deny his responsibilty.*
"I have an idea."

"Yes?"

*Philippe rubbed his forehead.*
"My old Nursemaid, Mona lives on the Estate. She would keep silent and the boy could live with her. I would tell Rebecca...
*He stopped.*
"I would tell her that the child was her grandchild."
*He would lie and have both.*
"The child would not know."
*It was best but it pained his heart.*

*She heaved a sigh of relief.*
"That would be wonderful, Philippe. He could live near you but not have to endure the scandal that would come about if it was known who his parents were. You have my utmost gratitude."

*She nodded. She was so glad of this, it gave her a feeling of a weight being lifted from her shoulders. All those years, wishing, wondering...but now, he knew, and it would be all right.*
"Of course. I'll have the Madame DeRouge bring him as soon as is possible."
*Her eyes glistened*
"I...could see him..."

"I won't, I promise you. He will be fine...he's in the best of situations, really."

"Oh...of course."
*Though she was still smiling, there was regret in her eyes, her voice. Regret for what could have been between them.
In her own way, she still loved Philippe, and always would*

*She sadly watched him go, staring at the open doorway for some moments before moving to shut it again. She leaned against the now locked door, taking deep breaths. It would be all right. The boy would have what he deserved to have, and she could see him without revealing her shame. Philippe would look after him.
She could finally rest easy.*
